I'm so psyched about these tees I have to share with you today.

If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen that I've been working on my playroom-which is really an attached sunroom off of our living room. We've been in this house 6 years and still never framed out the door or finished painting or adding baseboards. for shame!

I am loving the grainline patterns-I know, welcome to women's sewing, Jess. duh. They are all the rage, but I've always been a little scared to sew for myself-mostly worried that things wouldn't fit, etc. I've recently made a goal to sew for myself more, and to take that fear head on and show it who's boss. (me) So after I finished the archer, … [Read more...]

Every so often I get bit by the selfish sewing bug. It's happened again, guys! When I was visiting Kristin, she let me try on her Archer shirt (we're about the same size) to check the fit in case I wanted to sew one up. She did the same with my weekend getaway blouse last October, lol. It was SOO nice to be able to know that this one would fit … [Read more...]

The tee I made with LACE sleeves and used it for the binding and pocket as well. You might recognize the lace from this dress, and you might recognize … [Read more...]
